all are Characteristic OF the going out
OF Congress. These boxes almost block
the corridor near the elevator and they
look not unlike the comm boxes piled up above

From the st. James GAxette.
HypnOtism has been employed with considera-
BILE success In Paris for some time past by Charcot
and others In the treatment OF hystercal disorders
but case just related by NJ. Clovis Hughes in the
France is perhaps the most successful example OF
its application 80 far recorded. A young lady OF
20 was attacked six months ago with nervous
atlment which completely deprived her OF the use
OF her voice Electricity was tried and with q GER

after time, and it was at length abandoned In
despair.
Berfuon, the hypnotic specialist and after q con-
sultation with CharcOt he decided TO undertake
the case. After having brought on the mesmeric
trance by the usual means. he suggested" to the
patient to say 81 am 20" as soon as she awoke. A
minute afterward she opened her eyes ana at
once uttered the words without the least trace OF
an effort; but there her power OF articulation
ended. The next day the suggestion was that she
should converse with the doctor, and this she did
with ease, though she could not exchange q single
remark with any one else present. Finally. at the
third seance, Dr.. BofillOA ordered her TO speak
whenever and with wh0msoeyer she pleased
thencefOrward Since that time she has been able
to use her tongue freely, and her voice IL clear

ing Statements Were Made 70 the
House.

The remarks made in the House yesterday by
Messrs. Henderson and Wilson In regard to the
District appropriation bill contained a number Of
statements which the District Commissioners say
were misleading. Col. Ludlow says that
Mr.. Wilson's language was such as to
leave the impression that the $4,000
asked for suburban roads and streets was
for the Massachusetts, avenue extension which Is
not the fact Mr.. Henderson. he said, had COM
planned that a large proportion OF the estimates
Tor improvements were for the West End, leaving
only d1bletS for the northeast and southeast. His
committee, Col Ludlow says, undertook TO remedy
this by cutting down the ''driblets" proposed Tor
the northeast and southeast.

TrOtter's AppOintm ent as Deputy Re.
cOrder.S

The appointment OF ]. NJ Trotter to be deputy
recorder Of deeds, yesterday, pending action on
his nomination to be recorder, gives rise to con-
siderable speculation as to its significance. In
case he Is rejected by the Senate there will in all
PROBABILITY be short period between the exptra-
ton OF Recorder Matthews commission, which
recorder, when there would be no head OF the
onice. The announcement that the ap-
polntment Yesterday was to avoid such
a contingency Is generally credited,
although some people think that it may be the in
tentlon to re-commission Matthews and allow
TrOtter to remain as deputy recorder, that both
selections may hold Office until the end OF the next
session OF Congress. While few believe that such
course Is contemplated, there is nothing to pre-
vent IL, as the President can appoint whOmSOever
he chooses after the 4th of March, In case his last
nominee Is rejected by the Senate.
